Sirius opened his eyes and instinctively reached his hand to his right, feeling the remaining warmth of her on the mattress. He leaned up on his elbows as he yawned, looking toward the bathroom. He saw that the door was ajar and the light was on. He pulled his arms in and flopped back to the mattress when he heard the toilet flush. Only when she emerged naked from the bathroom, did he smile. She looked up and smiled, then took off in a brisk trot and jumped on the bed, bouncing and somersaulting to a stop next to him. He grabbed her and pulled her to him and she crawled onto him and pulled the top sheet over her head and lowered herself for a tender kiss from her husband.
"Good morning Mister Black," she cooed.
"Good morning Misses Black," he replied, his voice still thick with sleep. "I like saying that...Misses Black..."
She smiled. "I like hearing it."
"Mmmm...Good."
"Mmmmhmm..." She kissed him again and felt his wanting beneath her. "Need love Mister Black?"
"Yes please?"
She let him roll her over and within minutes, they were tangled in a lavender sea of linen sheets and warm blankets.
An hour later, she rose from their bed and donned her housecoat then opened the door to find Remus also leaving his room fully dressed briefcase in hand.
"Good morning Professor Snarky," she said cheerfully.
"Good morning Misses Black," he replied grinning. He kissed her cheek and the headed down the staircase silently together. Finally he broke his silence. "You smell like him."
"I should hope so," she replied, as she reached the bottom of the staircase. "Where are you off to today?"
"Going to look for a new place to live," he replied.
She stopped in her tracks and turned to face him in the wide corridor. "WHAT! Remus! You can't leave us! This is your home!"
Remus closed his eyes as he sighed and the grimaced. "Bobbie, the last thing you two need is a third wheel here."
Sirius heard Liesel's raised voice but was unable to make out exactly what she was going on about and he swung his legs from the bed, his feet landing square on the thick carpet. He tiptoed toward the door and cracked it open to listen in and try to discern if she needed him...
"No Remus! This is your home! Besides, who the else else am I going to beat at Monopoly! I don't want you to go!"
Sirius winced: he didn't want his Moony leaving them either. He heard Remus mumble something and then her distraught voice raised again.
"I don't care, besides...who's going to tutor my kids, huh? Answer me that, Professor!"
"You're an excellent teacher, Bobbie. You'll be just fine, I assure you."
"Remus! Noooo! Don't leave me!"
Sirius heard her her muffled cries as his briefcase hit the floor.
"If you leave here Remus, I swear, I'll never speak to you again, EVER!"
"Perhaps that's best," he replied in a low voice and kissed her cheek. "Enjoy your honeymoon Misses Black."
